Ayurvedic Treatment for Typhoid - #7501
My younger brother was recently diagnosed with typhoid fever, and while he’s receiving antibiotics as part of his treatment, I want to explore complementary Ayurvedic treatment for typhoid to aid his recovery and strengthen his immunity. From what I’ve read, typhoid is classified as a type of jwara (fever) in Ayurveda, often caused by an imbalance in pitta dosha. Are there specific Ayurvedic remedies like Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Amritarishta, or Sanjeevani Vati that are effective in managing fever, abdominal discomfort, and fatigue associated with typhoid? How should these remedies be consumed, and are they safe to use alongside antibiotics? I’ve also read about the importance of a pitta-pacifying diet for recovery. Should I focus on foods like rice gruel, pomegranate juice, and coconut water while avoiding spicy, oily, or acidic foods that might irritate the stomach? Another question is about improving post-typhoid weakness. Does Ayurveda recommend specific tonics or rasayanas, like Chyawanprash or Ashwagandha, to speed up recovery and restore energy levels? If anyone has used Ayurvedic treatments for typhoid, I’d love to hear about your experience. How effective were the remedies in reducing symptoms, and did they complement modern medicine well?
